Restrict -pwcorr- to the cases with complete data, e.g.

pwcorr x1 x2 x3 x4 if !missing(x1, x2, x3, x4), sig

It does seem odd to me that -pwcorr- and -corr- do not offer the same 
options.  If I was writing such a routine from scratch I'd probably write a 
single corr command that had a lot of options, one of which was pairwise 
deletion.
